NFF Denies Eduok Access From Eagles’ Camp

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has ordered Port Harcourt Dolphin striker Emem Eduok out of the camp of Super Eagles’ B, preparing for two international friendly matches in the United Arab Emirates.

The directive was given on Tuesday by the Federation boss Mr. Amaju Pinnick.

Mr. Amaju Pinnick said at the NFF Secretariat in Abuja, “We are not happy with the cloud of controversy over his transfer issue and it is a terrible distraction to the team and Nigeria football generally.

“Telling him to leave the camp does not mean we are indicting him.

“We will carry out an investigation and whoever is found guilty, be he/she an agent or player manager or an official of his club, will be duly sanctioned.”

The NFF President asked Chief Felix Anyansi-Agwu the Chairman of Technical and Development Committee, to conduct an investigation into the matter and report back to the Executive Committee at its meeting in Lagos on Thursday.

He said “We have to do this to serve as a deterrent to others. We are not blaming the player for anything yet; investigation will unravel who is guilty."

“But the distraction and controversy the matter has generated is not good for the camp.”

The Super Eagles B are preparing to face 2015 Africa Cup of Nations-bound Cote d’Ivoire in a friendly match in Abu Dhabi on Sunday and will then play Sudan in Dubai on January 17.
